Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family—and toxic relationships? For many, the holiday season brings family dynamics that can turn joyful gatherings into stressful ordeals. But what if navigating these tricky relationships could be manageable—even fun? In our latest podcast, we dive into the toxic dynamics that often surface at family gatherings. From attention-seekers to chronic critics, these behaviors can leave you feeling drained. That’s why we’ve created a checklist-turned-bingo game to help you spot and manage these patterns, like “they make you hide your true personality” or “your happiness depends on theirs.” But this episode isn’t just about recognizing toxicity—it’s about taking control. We explore setting boundaries, valuing yourself, and refusing to let others dictate your happiness. Use our checklist as a tool for growth and share it to spark conversations that foster change. Ready to tackle toxic family dynamics this Thanksgiving? Tune in for insights, laughs, and a new perspective on the holiday season. Let’s break the cycle and create a more positive family experience! _____ If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at https://secretlifepodcast.com. _____ Secret Life Podcast's episodes include topics addressing addiction and recovery, mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, love addiction, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, eating disorders, debt & money issues, anorexia, depression, shoplifting,  molestation, sexual assault, trauma, relationships, self-love, friendships, community, secrets, self-care, courage, freedom, and happiness. ______
